New Jersey Opens New Business Action Center In Trenton
Lt. Governor Kim Guadagno, joined by a group of business, community and government leaders, hosted an open house at the Department of State for the new Business Action Center (BAC) in Trenton.
The open house showcased the Christie Administration’s efforts to bring a more customer service approach to interacting with State government and formally introduce the public to the BAC’s staff.
Under the leadership of Lt. Governor Kim Guadagno, and led by Acting Executive Director Linda Kellner, the new center is the “one-stop” shop and will play a key role in attracting, retaining and growing businesses in New Jersey.
They will also provide professional and coordinated assistance to businesses in the resolution of permit applications, licenses, certificates and other business-related approvals.
The BAC is part of the New Jersey Partnership for Action, a three prong public-private approach that also includes Choose New Jersey and the Economic Development Authority.
“Making New Jersey a home for growth is our Administration’s top responsibility. By bringing a “one-stop” shop approach to this important task, we can help businesses – large and small – open and grow in New Jersey,” said Lt. Governor Kim Guadagno in opening the Business Action Center. “I’d personally encourage business to use the Business Action Center as a resource. Our staff can be reached at 866-534-7789 and are here to help.”
